A/N- Yes, I made another Warriors fic. I actually love Warriors more than Naruto, but Naruto fanfics are more fun to write. My friend Cleo suggested this songfic to me, because she loves this song and thinks it fits Bluestar perfectly. I agree. And am I the only one on that read Fading Echoes? It was great, but no one else seems to have read it. Reading the disclaimer today shall be... *SPOILER ALERT!* Mistyfoot!
Mistyfoot: that's Mistystar now. Leopordstar died, remember?
Me: What's with the smiley?
Mistystar: She was old. I wanted to be leader.
Me: OMG, did you kill her?
Mistystar: Of course not. ;)
Me: O.o
Mistystar: I'll read the disclaimer if you don't tell.
Me: Meh, I wanted her to die too. Go ahead.
Mistystar: Amier doesn't own Warriors or Viva la Vida by Coldplay.
"I used to rule the world,
Seas would rise when I gave the word,
Now in the morning I sleep alone,
Sweep the streets I used to own."
It had been a good life. As I lay on the bank of the river, dying, I was happier than I had been in moons. My kits had forgiven me. I had saved ThunderClan for the last time amongst them. Fireheart would lead the Clan well for many moons to come. The Clan was safe.
Oakheart was padding down from the sky, his red-brown fur filled with shimmering starlight. His expression told me all was forgiven in StarClan.
"Oakheart," I murmured. "Have you come for me? I'm ready." When he nodded, I felt peace flood my body. I was ready.
"No!" cried Fireheart. Ah, my loyal deputy. I had chosen well when I took him into my Clan. He was the fire, destined to save ThunderClan. "Bluestar, don't leave us!" he begged.
"I must. I have fought my last battle." I panted, struggling to breath after my ordeal. "When I saw the Clan at Sunningrooks, the strong helping the weak... & I knew you & the others had gone to confront the pack... I knew my Clan was loyal. I knew StarClan had not turned their backs on us. I knew... I knew that I couldn't leave you to face the danger alone." My strength was ebbing, my last life hanging on a line about to be cut.
"Bluestar..." Fireheart moaned softly.
"I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
"One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
and I discovered that my castles stand
upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand"
I had no regrets. Not in this life. I could see StarClan ready to greet me into their hunting grounds. All was forgiven. Redtail, Lionheart, Snowfur, Mosskit, Moonflower, and Spottedleaf wait with open hearts and minds for me. No, I had no regrets.
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing For some reason I can't explain
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
So many seasons, I had served my Clan. I had seen kits born, warriors retire, and elders die. I had fought battle after countless battle, patrol after countless patrol, and hunt after countless hunt. Warriors had died under my care, served me for moons, and defended me with their lives. My time with ThunderClan had been amazing. My only sadness was that I hadn't been able to say goodbye to everyone, especially Whitestorm, my wonderfully loyal nephew.
Firestar would lead them well.
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing For some reason I can't explain I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing For some reason I can't explain
for my head on a silver plate
just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
